Memories

My wife Carol and my Mother-in-Law standing outside their former home from the late 40's, early 50's. The White House in Headley belonged to the local dairy,  my Father-in-Law was a Milkman and they lived on the premises for a few years. This is Carol's earliest ever memory, of watching the weddings in the church which was directly opposite, she was a very small girl at the time, in fact she started school in this village.
My Mother-in-Law, although 88 years old (yesterday) remembered very clearly the lay-out of the house, much to the delight of the current owner, who very kindly invited us to look around.

'Life quickly passes us by
We reflect where  memories lie
Good and bad times  come and go
Like summer rain and fleeting snow.
        
As years grow old memories fade
New ones are born and old ones laid
Passing of time is like the blink of an eye
In heart and mind fond memories lie.
       
Season will come and seasons  go
Like the summer rain and  fleeting snow
The memories will never fade
We only cherish  memories made'
